Do you know why Wesley Clark is interested in time travel?
He wishes he could go back to May 10, 2001, and make a few changes in the way he handled the next day.
On May 11, 2001, the general and now Democrat candidate for president, spoke to the Pulaski County Republican Lincoln Day Dinner in Little Rock, Ark. Here’s what he said in a speech sure to haunt him throughout his campaign: “And I’m very glad we’ve got the great team in office, men like Colin Powell, Don Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice … people I know very well – our president George W. Bush. We need them there.'”
Clark also praised President George H. W. Bush and President Reagan – unthinkable for a Democrat. He had nothing kindly to say about President Clinton.
He’s changed his tune since then. Now he says President Bush “recklessly” took us into war and “recklessly” cut taxes.
It’s funny he didn’t mention the reckless tax cut back on May 11, 2001 – it was already the centerpiece of Bush’s economic program.
Maybe that’s why Clark proclaimed his “faith” in science last weekend and seemed almost desperate to find a way to travel faster than the speed of light and thus defy the constraints of time.
“We need a vision of how we’re going to move humanity ahead, and then we need to harness science to do it,” he told a group of about 50 people in Newcastle, N.H. “I still believe in e=mc?, but I can’t believe that in all of human history, we’ll never ever be able to go beyond the speed of light to reach where we want to go. I happen to believe that mankind can do it.”
Clark added: “I’ve argued with physicists about it, I’ve argued with best friends about it. I just have to believe it. It’s my only faith-based initiative.”
Or maybe there’s another reason Clark is so intent on time travel. Maybe he wants to go back and do things over again in Kosovo.
That’s where he nearly started World War III while serving as NATO commander in the unconstitutional, immoral war on Serbia. When the Russians took control of Pristina Airport before NATO troops, Clark – at the behest of NATO Secretary-General Javier Solana – ordered 500 British and French paratroopers to take it away from them. Thankfully, his order was disregarded by British Gen. Sir Mike Jackson, who told Clark: “I’m not going to start the third world war for you.”
Or maybe Clark would really like to zoom into the future, rather than the past. Maybe he’d like to move the clocks forward to January 2004. Maybe he’s concerned that everyone is right about him after all – that he’s just a stalking horse for the real front-running Democratic presidential candidate, Hillary Rodham Clinton. If Hillary hasn’t jumped in the race by January, it will be too late for her to enter the early key state primaries, leaving Clark as the probable leader of the 10-pack.
I think Wesley Clark has learned already in his brief foray into national politics that time is not really on his side. He made a big splash early because just about anyone would look good by comparison to the nine other Democratic also-rans. But it’s not going to get any easier as the days and weeks tick by in this campaign.
Every day, it seems, is another opportunity for a gaffe. Every day is another opportunity to put one’s foot in one’s mouth. Every day is another chance to, well, blow it.
I think that’s why Wesley Clark would like to climb into a time machine right now.
Editor’s note: Since publishing the original story in Wired about Clark’s
interest in time travel, the writer of the article, Brian S. McWilliams, has
informed WorldNetDaily his “faulty understanding of physics” led him to
report the candidate hoped to work toward time travel when in fact he
mentioned only the desire to travel faster than the speed of light. While
some experts have said traveling faster than light implies time travel,
Clark did not specifically profess an interest in it.
